Saturn: an oblong blob through 8" newt with 10mm Ploessl

aimed at Saturn and that's exactly what I got to see: an oblong bright blob as opposed to the needle pin bright star next to it.

the 10mm Meade Ploessl not making a big difference to the 40mm Celestron eye piece in the 8" newt (f/5).

does that mean, I need more light coming to the eye piece?
as in: collimation required?
